Do any of you have a suggesting for removing the baked on bbq sauce?
Go to your local Lowe's, Ace Hardware or Home Depot and buy one of the sanding blocks (basically a sponge with sanding grit on four sides). Get the one with the "heavy grit" label. This will break up the baked on stuff in the crock pot.
I had an oven that hadn't been cleaned in eight (or more) years. I tried SOS, oven cleaner, etc., for several days. Then, in desperation, I picked up one of the sanding blocks I was using on something else and tried that. Some elbow grease and the sanding block made that oven look brand new and it didn't damage the porcelain finish.
